Ready to move beyond prompting?

Many people are comfortable using Copilot prompts, but the next step is AI agents that can automate everyday tasks and save even more time. Here's 3 useful agents you could build with AI today:

Email Management Agent: Prioritises important emails, highlights actions, and drafts replies.

Meeting Follow-Up Agent: Summarises discussions, captures key decisions, and creates action lists from meetings.

Knowledge & Procedures Agent: Finds answers from policies, procedures, templates, and internal documents in seconds.

The best part? You don't need coding skills or a technical background to build your own AI agents.

Our AI and Copilot training courses can help you learn how to design and create agents that make work easier, from beginner to advanced.

Due to demand, we've added two further online AI Enablement sessions on July 22.

Building practical confidence with AI tools is likely to become one of the biggest professional advantages people can develop over the next 12-24 months.

AI opportunities go well beyond generating content or drafting emails. With little to no coding experience, people can now build automations, create custom GPTs, connect tools together, and develop AI agents that handle repetitive tasks and support everyday work. It’s easy - when you have a solid understanding of what the tools can do and how to use them well.

Take advantage of these free online sessions, which give you an intro to each topic and some tangible takeaways you can apply at work straight away.

How are you getting on with AI? Confidence with AI tends to develop in stages, from experimenting with simple prompts through to using it as a genuine part of how you (or your organisation) works.

Take a look at the five stages below and see which one sounds most like you. You might be surprised by how close you are to the next step.

And if you need a little help to get there, ACE Training is here for you.

We asked if you wanted to join us for Microsoft AI Skills Fest 2026 - and you showed up in droves!

Thanks to each and every one of you, who invested the time to learn more about AI and how it can support you in your role. Most of us have only just scraped the surface of knowing what AI can do, and how we might be using it more effectively.

If you joined us (or even if you couldn't make it this time), now might be a good time to ask yourself:

- What’s the one part of AI I’m most curious (or cautious) about right now?
- What’s one AI skill I think will become essential in my industry over the next few years?
- If I became more confident using AI tools over the next 6 months, what difference could that make for me both day-to-day and professionally?

We have AI skilling pathways for Executives, Knowledge workers and IT professionals. Reach out to the team at [email protected] for more info.

Adobe InDesign remains the go‑to for professional layout design—whether you’re building marketing collateral, brochures, multi‑page documents, or polished print‑ready assets. The combination of precision, flexibility, and industry‑standard output keeps it firmly at the centre of modern design workflows.

But there is a learning curve. That’s why a structured training course with a knowledgeable instructor can save you hours of trial and error and help unlock the software’s full potential far more quickly.

Thanks Kiran, for helping this ACE customer make the most of their Adobe InDesign Essentials course!

When you develop your existing team’s data and analytics capability, every dollar you’ve already invested in people, platforms, systems and strategy works harder. Better insights lead to smarter decisions, greater confidence, and stronger performance across the organisation.

And the impact goes beyond data. Investing in people builds engagement, strengthens loyalty, and creates a culture where individuals feel confident and empowered to contribute at a higher level.

Our NZ‑based team delivers instructor‑led training courses covering everything from Excel fundamentals through to powerful tools like Power BI, Power Platform, and Microsoft Fabric.

We also offer in‑house and tailored corporate training to meet more of your organisation’s specific needs.

If you're looking to build data capability in your organisation, get in touch with our team and we can talk you through your next, best step.

Yes you could keep getting your Excel tips from the person at the desk next to you. But they might still be using Excel like it’s 2015 - the year they last did any training.

Or you could try asking Google. But Google only gives you the right answer if you already know the right question. And if you’re not even sure what the feature is called, you’re in for a long afternoon of guesswork and half-right solutions.

If you're serious about mastering Excel, learn from one of our expert instructors - like Vicki. Vicki understand the problems you’re grappling with, and she knows the fastest, cleanest, most efficient ways to solve them.

Our instructors will show you the shortcuts you didn’t know existed, the tools you didn’t realise you needed, and the smarter workflows that make your job easier.

It’s Excel training that’s practical, up‑to‑date, and built for NZ workplaces.

Cheers Vicki, for helping another happy ACE customer to gain greater confidence and skills using Excel.

In many small to medium NZ businesses it is pretty normal to wear a few different hats. One moment you're greeting visitors at reception, the next you're sorting data or keeping the office running smoothly. Roles like these often call for a broad mix of entry level skills and confidence across tools like Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook.

If you are looking to fill a skills gap or get yourself off the ground with the essentials, we have courses for every level. From 1/2 day beginner courses through to more advanced Microsoft 365 skills, it is easy to build capability and feel more confident in your day to day work.

If you want to grow your skills and open up more opportunities, we are here to help - get in touch with team at [email protected], or start a live chat with us at ace.co.nz.
